AMERICA HAS FURNISHED TO THE WORLD THE CHARACTER OF WASHING- 
TON ! AND IF OUR AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS HAD DONE NOTHING ELSE, THAT 
ALONE WOULD HAVE ENTITLED THEM TO THE RESPECT OF MANKIND. 

—DANIEL WEBSTER. 



PREFACE. 



One hundred and fifty-seven years ago, there was born in a plain 
Virginia farm-house, a boy, whose life history has commanded the 
admiration and respect of the world, and the love and veneration of 
his countrymen. That boy — a leader among boys — became the 
hardy young Surveyor, the trusted Commissioner, the Virginia 
Colonel, the Commander-in-Chief, and finally the First President 
of the United States. A brief summary ! but those years of pro- 
gression teem with events and results, among the most remarkable 
in the history of man. A people winning independence, a republic 
originated and consolidated, a world advanced in ideas and 
humanity. That boy, that man, steadily growing and steadily 
working, controlled these events, utilized these results, and made 
possible the glorious future of his country. 

Yet the history of George Washington is not always a recital 
of brilliant exploits in the field, — the cunning strategy of the Com- 
mander, — nor is it always a narrative of startling movements in 
the cabinet, — the secret diplomacy of the Statesman, — but it is 
a/ways the consistent record of a man true to himself, true to 
his country, true to his God. The Life of an earnest, honest 
man, of a sincere, conscientious ruler, and of a patriot without 

guile ; never faltering in the right, never neglecting a duty, never

PREFACE. 



hesitating in his love and devotion for his country. Pure of 
thought, pure of action, unerring in judgment, unwearied in 
effort. 

This life history has been written so often, and has appeared 
in so many forms, from the slight sketch to the ponderous quarto, 
from the school-book of a single volume, to the finished pro- 
duction of many, that but few are aware of the number and 
how constantly it has been added to. It is proper, therefore, 
that some attempt should be made to impart such information, 
and by devoting this volume to that purpose we shall endeavor 
to furnish a list of these sketches and biographies, so that the 
student and reader may know what to refer to and what to make 
useful. 

While the list has been made as complete as was possible, 
we do not necessarily claim it to be exhaustive, especially as 
regards the sketches ; but, at the same time feel assured, that for 
all practical purposes it will be found sufficient. 

The chronological arrangement of titles has prevented the 
grouping together of all the editions of particular works, which 
would have been desirable, but as such information can he had by 
reference to the Index, that sequence, certainly the best, has been 
adhered to. 

The word re-issue, as used throughout the work, is intended to 
convey the fact that the book or sketch under consideration, was 
printed from the stereotype-plates of an earlier date, and the word 
reprinted indicates a new set up of type, duplicating the text of the 
original publication, but not, however, necessarily the same as to the 
size or number of pages.

PREFACE. 



The numbers designating the different portraits in these publica- 
tions, correspond with those in a previous work of the writer, entitled 
the " Engraved Portraits of Washington," where fuller descriptions are 
furnished. 

The etched portrait prefixed to the volume is from the three- 
quarter length painted from life by Joseph Wright, at Philadelphia, in 
1784, for Mrs. Samuel Powel, of that city, an intimate friend of 
Washington. The portrait, still in the possession of the Powel family 
at Newport, R. I., is remarkable for its pronounced personality without 
any attempt at the ideal, and in that respect, while possessing no par- 
ticular artistic excellence, is extremely interesting and valuable. The 
etching executed expressly for this work by Mr. Albert Rosenthal of 
Philadelphia, from his own drawing made in the summer of 1888, is a 
close translation of the original, which, with the exception of a repro- 
duction on wood published in the Century Magazine for November, 
1887, has not heretofore been engraved. 

Joseph Wright, the painter of the " Powel Portrait," was born at 
Bordentown, New Jersey, July 16th, 1756, and died at Philadelphia 
in 1793. The family having removed to England after the decease 
of his father, Mr. Wright studied both at Paris and London, where 
his mother, Mrs. Patience Lovell Wright, was well known as an 
excellent modeler in wax. After his return to this country Mr. 
Wright painted several portraits of Washington from life, the first 
being executed at Rocky Hill, New Jersey, in 1783, the year pre- 
vious to the production of the " Powel Portrait." Other portraits 
followed, one of the most interesting being a drawing in profile made 
in New York in 1790. This the artist afterwards reproduced in a

small etching, probably the earliest painter-etching of any import- 
ance executed in America. 

In closing this my fourth and final contribution to " Washing- 
toniana," let me say to my countrymen, that one of the imperative 
duties of citizenship is to keep alive the sacred fire of patriotism, 
which burned so purely and so steadily, in the breast of our Washing- 
ton, and that in no way can the fulfilment of this duty — a common 
heritage — be better understood than by the careful study of the Life 
and the Character of the Father of His Country!

The sketch which occupies pp. 14-24 of the pamphlet, was written by John Bell, Esq., 
of Maryland, and forms the contents of a letter by him to a friend in Europe, dated May 3d, 
1779, published the following peai as above described. The author of the epistle to which it 
was annexed was Charles Henry Wharton, also a native of Maryland, but at the time a resi- 
dent 1. 1 W..111 Ki, f'n^land, and to whom in all probability the letter was addressed. The 
sketch, which so far as we know, is the lust attempt at a Biography of Washington made in 
America, was also printed in the London CAronitle, July 22d, 17S0. Of the writer, John 
Bell, we have no information other than the statement in the preface, that he was " connected 
and intimate in the family " of Washington. The pamphlet has been reprinted several times, 
the last being at New York, in 1S65.

Thomas Jones was born in Queens County, Province of New York, April 30th, 1731. 
He married a daughter of James de Lancey, Governor of New York, and at the time of the 
outbreak of the Revolution was a Justice of the Supreme Court of the Province. In con- 
sequence of his adherence to the royal cause, Judge Jones lost his estate under the confisca- 
tion act, and was one of the fifty-six gentlemen and three ladies included in the New York 
Act of Attainder. Judge Jones left the United States in 17S1, and died in England, July 
25th, 1792. During the years 1783-88, he employed his leisure hours in recording the events 
of the period, the MS. of which was preserved and published at New York in 1879, as 
above described. Included in the work are short sketches of several of the prominent par- 
ticipators in the Revolution; the Washington sketch (Vol. II, pp. 344.-49) may have been 
written about the year 17S5.

A compilation, for the most part, from the sketches by John Bell, No. 3, and Jedidiah 
Morse, No. 7, the interest of the narrative being sustained by the introduction of Washington's 
Journal of 1 753 ; the Address of the Provincial Congress of New York (June 26th, 1775), 
with the answer of Washington ; his Farewell Address to the Armies of the United States ; 
the resignation of his Commission at Annapolis ; his letter to the Governor of Virginia, 
declining the acceptance of certain shares in an Improvement Company, and his Inaugural 
Address, April 30th, 17S9. The Philadelphia Monthly Magazine for 179S, in which these 
Memoirs appear, seems to have been issued only for that year, not reaching beyond Vol. I. 
Thomas Condie, for whom it was printed, and whose name is affixed as the compiler of the 
Memoirs, was a book-binder by trade. He died about the year 1S15.

The above title is taken from an advertisement in The Aurora, Philadelphia, December

" a striking likeness of the General." No copy of a Life of Washington by Joseph Scott is

the Colonies planted by the English | on the | Continent of North 
America, | from their settlement | to the commencement of that War 
which terminated in their | Independence. | By John Marshall. | Vol. 
I. I Philadelphia: \ Printed and Published by C. P. Wayne. | 1804. 



5 vols., Svo, 1S04-7, pp. XXII, 488 (45); VIII, 560 (72); VIII, 5S0 (2S); VIII, 626 
(16); VII, 779 (36). Portrait after Stuart, Baker, 210 ; 4to Vol. of maps (10), and sub- 
scribers' names. Vols. II, III, IV and V contain the " Life of George Washington," the First 
Volume being devoted to the Introduction or Colonial History. 

From the fact of General Washington having bequeathed all his papers, both of a 
public and private nature, to his nephew, Bushrod Washington, it came to be generally 
understood at the lime that he would prepare the much needed biography of his uncle, 
and that the latter really expected it of him. That such was the intention of Judge Washing- 
ton is made apparent by the following announcement over his signature in the True American, 
Philadelphia, August 1 8th, 1800: " Having at length engaged a gentleman of distinguished 
talents to assist in writing a History of the Life of the late General Washington, this work 
will be immediately commenced, and will be completed as expeditiously as the nature of such 
an undertaking will permit." The " gentleman of distinguished talents " was John Marshall, 
shortly afterwards appointed Chief Justice of the United States. Subsequently, September 
23d, 1802, Judge Washington disposed of the copy-right of the work thus inaugurated, to 
Caleb P. Wayne, publisher, of Philadelphia, who on the same day issued proposals for its 
publication by subscription, vide Paulson's Daily Advertiser of that date. How much or 
how litde Judge Washington contributed to the work is not known, but it is presumed to 
have been nothing beyond the selection of Marshall as the writer, and the necessary examina- 
tion of the papers bequeathed to him. It is somewhat singular, however, that in the many 
public notices of the work the name of Judge Marshall does not appear as the author, 
until February 15th, 1S04, when the certificate of copy-right, as printed in Vol. I, above 
described, is published in the Daily Advertiser, in connection with the announcement that 
the volume is nearly ready for distribution. Marshall's Life of Washington was the first im- 
portant contribution to the subject, and it is still regarded as the standard Biography. The 
sale was unusually large, and many copies were printed, demanding on the part of Edwin, 
the engraver, the execution of several plates of the portrait, in order to furnish good 
impressions.

taneously with the Philadelphia edition. No. 49; the Portrait, the two Maps of the Northern 
and Southern States in Vol. I, ami the Plates and Vignette, Vols. II, III, being peculiar to 
this edition. The 10 Maps in Vol. V, are copies of those issued with the American edition. 
The difference of the make-up from that edition, apart from the si/e of the page, consists in 
printing the lengthy notes at the end of each volume as foot-notes, and a change in the 
arrangement of some chapters in Vols. II, III and IV . This admirable issue of the English 
press is certainly not one of the least of the notable tributes which have been paid to the 
memory of Washington.

What with the eight introductory chapters treating of the discovery of America, and the 
settlement of the different colonies ; the full account of the treason of Arnold and the execu- 
tion of Andre, together with other additions, including the Constitution of the United States, 
and Amendments, very little of Corry is found in this volume, although enough crops out 
here and there to save the announcement on the title-page from being altogether a mis-state- 
ment. The claim, however, as to its being the " First American Edition,'' is outside of the 
truth, as may be easily proved by an examination of No. 42.

Quite a different production from No. 32, being almost entirely rewritten, yet retaining 
all its quaintness and originality. It is also divided into chapters, and possesses some claims 
to the dignity of biography (sui generis), being fuller in detail and more consecutive in narra- 
tive. Very little of the original sketch has been used, although here and there entire sen- 
tences and paragraphs occur. For instance, in treating of the moral qualities of Washington, 
the chapters on Benevolence and Industry, and the corresponding articles of the original, are 
almost identical, and the same may be said as to a large portion of the chapter entided the 
death of Washingtc.n ; as also different historical references on pp. 70, 77, 82 and 89-95. 
This edition was copy-righted at Philadelphia, September 20th, 1S08, as the Sixth, but it is 
really the First of tie popular " Weems' Washington," as the well known " curious anec-

Tenth Edition — Greatly Improved. | Embellished with seven En-

success in a new way. He turns all the actions | of Washington to

Portrait after Stuart, Baker, 339. 6 Plates. 

With the exception of the abbreviation of the quotation from General Lee on the title- 
page, this is a reprint of No. 78, and the title as above given is retained in all subsequent 
editions, of which so many have appeared. The Twenty-sixth, in 1824, seems t<> havi been 
the last one issued by Carey, who about that time sold the plates— stereotyped in 1818 — to 
Joseph Allen, of Frankford, near Philadelphia, whose family, it is said, still derive some revenue 
from them. At the time of the transfer to Allen, the illustrations were from other coppei 
plates than the originals, of which several sets had been executed ; the new set — upright in 
shape— being much better both in design and workmanship. The Twenty-ninth edition, 1826, 
appears to have been the last numbered one. In 1828 wood-cuts replaced the copper-plates, 
and subsequently, about 1S40, new stereotype-plates were cast, pp. 244, which arc still used bj 
the present publishers, Lippincott & Co., the last printing bearing date 1882.

At the time of the publication of this work, it was highly commended for its Latinity, 
and used for some time as a text-book in the grammar-school of Columbia College, N. Y. ; it 
is now, however, considered merely as a literary curiosity. The quotation on the Latin 
title-page, purporting to be from the fragment of Cicero, prophesying the future appearance 
and deeds of Washington, was the source of considerable bewilderment on the part of the 
scholars of the day, who investigated it without success. Professor Charles Anthon, of 
Columbia College, having finally confessed that he had written the passage himself, the 
classical inquiries came to an end. We furnish a translation of this literary deception : 
" Far across the ocean, if we may credit the Sybilline books, and after many ages, an exten- 
sive and rich continent will be discovered, and in it will arise a hero who, by his council 
and arms, will deliver his country from the slavery by which she was oppressed. This shall 
he do under favorable auspices; and, oh, how much more admirable will he be than our 
Brutus and Camillas. These predictions were known to our Accius, who has embodied them 
in his Nyctegresia, and embellished with the ornaments of poetry."

"Washington and the Generals of the American Revolution," 2 vols., 1 21110, sixteen 
Portraits, was edited and partly written by Rufus W. Griswold, assisted by W. G. Simms, 
E. D. Ingraham and others. It is commonly known as " Griswold's Washington," and the 
authorship of the Washington sketch usually attributed to him. But of this there is no posi- 
tive proof, and without good evidence to that effect we incline to doubt it. The writer has 
heard it ascribed to the pen of the late Horace Binney Wallace, of Philadelphia, but of this 
also no evidence was adduced, although such a parentage is entitled to much more favorable 
consideration.

This Life of Washington was projected by Rufus W. Griswold, who, after entering upon 
the labor of preparing it for the press, fell seriously ill. At that time Dr. Griswold had 
written about two hundred pages of the work, and the publishers had commenced issuing it 
in monthly parts, four of which had appeared when he was compelled to lay aside his pen. 
Mr. Lossing then, at the request of the publishers, undertook the completion of the biography, 
and had barely entered upon the duties when Dr. Griswold died.
